Default VxVM rootdisk replacement: No partitions!

I had a Veritas-mirrored encapsulated root disk fail yesterday. Used
vxdiskadm to remove the failed disk, physically replaced the disk,
used "vxdctl enable," then vxdiskadm to replace the disk.

A check of the new disk's label shows that the disk isn't
encapsulated! There are no partitions. What did I do wrong, and how do
I fix it?

Here's what you do to fix it:

vxmksdpart -g rootdg rootdisk-01 0 0x02 0x00 #root
vxmksdpart -g rootdg rootdisk-02 1 0x03 0x01 #swap

A kind Sun FE helped me out.
